Marriage proposals aren’t all created equal, and apparently paying for the wedding isn’t either. One Los Angeles Dodgers fan proved that last week by running onto the field and getting tackled by security before proposing to his girlfriend, Stephani Gutierrez. Despite the disaster on Opening Day, Gutierrez said yes. The fan, Ricardo Juarez, received a one-season ban and was cited by the LAPD. The couple has since created a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for their dream wedding. As of now, they’ve raised just over $600.
“Hey everybody, You might have seen our viral video where my fiancé proposed to be on the baseball field at Dodger Stadium and he got tackled by security. That’s us! We have been together for 3 years now with our 1-year-old child. My fiancé, Ricardo, said his motive was to ensure me how he is willing to go above and beyond. For those wondering, he was only banned for a year, so luckily our son will be able to laugh with us about this at a future Dodgers baseball game! Happy to share he’s okay and we’re both at home now. Thank you for all the support we are both so happy and still on cloud 9 with our new engagement!!”
The Dodgers could have issued a lifetime ban, but they chose to go easy on the couple. Someday, Juarez and Gutierrez will be back at Dodger Stadium enjoying a game as a married couple. In the meantime, social media is having a field day with the proposal mishap:
